The Chattanooga Daily Times and
Cuipii.itpiAl, have for the past few
days been having quite a lively little
skirmish in regard to Die publication
of (lev. Mr, Rinkin’s, of that city,
sermon in which lie openly and boldly
attacks the great social evil of the city.
Tlio Times refused to publish the
sermon, apparently based on the
grounds that it was too highly sensa
tional and indecent; while Commercial
nut only published it, but has thrown
its editorials in a line according with
its sentiment. It sounds rather queer
for tho i’imc.s to beaoine so delicate
all at once, when, heretofore, there is
not a paper south of the Ohio liver
that could collect and publish higher
and more sensational and filthy matter
than it. In politics tbp Ccmmeicial is
one of those honest, snappy', knmv
when-to strike Republican papers; the
Times well, it has always been a
matter o' no little task with the Dem
ocrats of Chattanooga to politically
locate it. At any rato the Commer
cial is about getting the better of tho
present fight.

should bo said a’jotjl lii’n? One ('act
is: It would take a brave heart to ‘.ell
and publish all the truth about him
Sometimes popular opinion is a cruel
thing. It ojten has not any veneration
for the truth. It l|as its god, and it
has no charity towards those tvl;o
will not woiship at thq shrine of that
god. 1 Ttpsp fallacies may become so
deeply engraved in {.ho sentiments of
the populace that generations will bo
born and pass away before they will
giveaway to the strongest lights of
trntji. Oftoq, the only difference be
tween the present and dark agos is, that
the present has learned to clothe their
gods in a ljvf.iv more like that of
Heaven or in attributes belonging to
the true, great, and good. The press
and public lias 50 supcedci) ii) deifying
Grant. It would take volumns to ex
pose all the fallacy in the great deeds
that he has been credited with doing,
and the noble qualities of mind and
soul that has boon attributed to him
Put at the closing scenes he boro a
spirit id clemency towards the heroes
of the Lost Cause that characteriz.e<]
few, if any, of the Federal authorities
and officers, (01 which let the South
drop a tear to his memory.
Np! there is no sectional hatred in
the South; and, far Jens, not any in
disposition towards {lie {jnioi). No
section of this yast government o'
oms ea'eitaina truer patiiolic venera
tion for tiiat grand acheivement and
noble work of the founders of our gov
ernment than this section. Ib.it in the
hearts of true Southern patriots is
left a woniid and scar that will find
a lies'ing only in eterigly. From
generation to generation the truth will
be handed down, and at each decade
it will become more effulgent till er
i'or and falsehood will be assigned to
its proper fjle in the history of our na
tion. Heaven nor earth hay 110 law

which followed mine, said lie lmd up
extreme contempt toward those who
would deprive an American citizen ol

thinking thoy aie rescued and saved

Die colors of Mr Editor 1 am in doubt.
B t 1 think it is anything to suit
Sam Jones cfc Co. As you all ought to
know Sam gets his doctrine Irom the
disciplin, and preaches from Dm point
of reason and a great many* Hines tliev
are verry unpensouable. Hut that is
alright, it is not necessary to go into
the details of his doctrine,

would swear would staal. Tim is

land of Amend i. 11l living up there
mark. Mr Editor has ii onp way and
Mr Rowd-ui another thou nnne< the
question which is light? Mr Editor
or Mr R iwdon. I liave it from good
authority that Sam Jones gave litlor
auco to the expression while pleaching
in the city of Nashville. So yon see
that Mr R nvden would liavo taken
great littered in Sail) to follow him t,j
Nashville. Mr. Rowden admits tlnf
Sam iltteiance the exjues.-i .n hut lid
not intend it as wo sou it. Rtu we
take it for what it is.
From >vhat wp can find out about
tho early life of Sam Jones hp, was a
profane man, as voting generly do of
that disposition “Will «wen pa little”
And yet he says a man •w ho will swear
will steal. I wonder ii Mi Juiier
ever stole anything.
In accordance with wlia{ iie says,
he is a refomvq rogue, a minister and
servant of God.
Mr Jones is Judging those who
sweat by his own disposition. But
that is nop true, there are thousands of
good honest citizens wlm are far Su
perior to Sam Jones, that ►wear 1
want it understood that 1 flo not en
